Using linux solves almost all virus problems I used to have.
I've heard good things about the corperate version of norten antivirus though

I use McAfee, In combination with Mozilla Firefoz this usually keeps the most virus outside, and ofcourse a good firewall (Black Ice)..
 btw.. Does somebody knows if Mozilla Thunderrbird is a decent e-mail client, I'm still using Outlook and I'm getting sick of it....  |

I'm using Thunderbird, it's good. As Data said, switching to Linux solved my virusproblems. I used to have Norton or Norman in Windows.
Firewall in Windows is Zone Alarm and in Linux I make due with iptables. |

I use Norton AntiVirus but the only reason I use it is because it came with the pc. Norton Antivirus basically covers what I want. I don't know much about other Virus scanners so this topic would be good one to get my understanding a lever higher of these Virus scanners because viruses get better/harder to beat with the moving of technology.

I use Norton, but it's not that great, it's a virus detector since I usually end up deleting the viruses myself.

i chosed Norton because it is the one i use, but i guess most of them are competent enough to keep a computer clean... just as long as virus definitions are kept updated

I used Norton for two years thinking that it was the best. But then I decided to opt for a change and searched many websites to find that people were no longer happy with norton. I decided to opt for a change and decided to go for its old competetor McAfee and I really suggest everyone to go for McAfee! It's better! It can control adware too! Plus there are some advanced options also. I am using McAfee 8.0i.
Heard a lot about Kaspersky but it is also resource consuming! AVG Free Edition is the favourite of many people, but wait the poll is yet to get full response!
